I think this was really good, I loved the storyline and the characters were great :)
I really liked all the different representation (I think Rick is getting better at the represention thing and it’s very nice) but I also think this might be the first book I’ve read that has the female MC actually get her period and have it effect her day-to-day stuff, which I was really happy about seeing.
One note I have is that it felt kinda cliffhanger-y (and we know Rick loves those cliffhangers) but at the same time it… doesn’t feel that way? Like I feel as if that last chapter was saying both “hey there’s gonna be more “ but also “it’s the end but it’s up to your interpretation what happens next” and I don’t really like that. I’m pretty sure this has been marketed as a standalone so I’m assuming it’ll stay that way but I do think it could end up being a series or a duology or something. Good book though :)
